having some problems getting the mac version to work- i got stuck at these instructions: "3. Open the terminal. You will see something that looks like a text file. Next you will need to make sure that the Terminal is looking at the same directory as your TOUCHSTARVED download."

i didn't see the text that was supposed to be in the terminal, but instead the normal text for my computer: "Last login: Sun Sep  8 14:32:09 on ttys000

(my computer name)-MacBook-Air ~ %"

i looked within the files of touchstarved itself to try and find a different terminal type/file, but couldn't find one. i also don't know how to make the terminal look at the same directory as touchstarved. i'm not exactly a computer whizz, so i def need some help with this ^^'

I'm having an issue at this step as well! After typing the text in the terminal, I closed the application and tried opening the game again, as I was instructed. But the game isn't responding on my mac; I don't even get an error message or see a black loading screen, nothing happens. 

Maybe I made a mistake at the terminal step, but I don't know  ¯\_(' - ')_/¯ . Were we supposed to press "return" on our keyboard after typing "chmod -R 777 TOUCHSTARVED-SILICON.2.app" in the terminal? Because I did. Though, a different line of text didn't show after I did this, unlike the other times I pressed return after typing something in terminal.

I would appreciate someone who has successfully downloaded the demo on a mac, sharing their knowledge and the steps they took in doing so :) !

maybe you can try dowloading the itch app and launching from there? i mean i did that but it didnt work so i hope they find a solution soon :(
